The Ivy Key was founded by two Harvard University graduates, Jae Gardner and Chris
McConnell. Jae Gardner graduated from Harvard University with a Bachelor’s degree
in Economics and Sociology. Chris McConnell graduated Harvard University with a
Bachelor’s degree in English. They have over ten years of tutoring experience and
have worked with a multitude of students across the Northeast. Since the company’s
inception, The Ivy Key has partnered with a host of public and private institutions across
the metropolitan area. In 2009, NY1 recognized Jae Gardner and Chris McConnell as
New Yorkers of the Week for the college preparation work they did with various public
high schools in New York City.

“We are proud of this company, we saw a need for a new kind of tutoring – one in
which tutoring coupled with mentoring truly helps a student grow. All our services are
executed with the simple fact in mind that commitment begets excellence.”
